Might as Well Be Dead - Softcover

Rex Stout (1886–1975) wrote dozens of short stories, novellas, and full-length mystery novels, most featuring his two indelible characters, the peerless detective Nero Wolfe and his handy sidekick, Archie Goodwin.

Nero Wolfe is employed by a Nebraska businessman to locate his missing son. The young man left his family in shame after being accused of embezzling from the family business. Now, after more than a decade, the family learns that the son was falsely accused, and they wish to make good on the mistake. Wolfe locates someone who looks like the son, except that this man denies being related to the family in Nebraska and is fighting a murder conviction. This tale of false accusations is adroitly performed by Michael Prichard. His staccato delivery and deadpan expression are a great match for Wolfe's assistant, Archie.
